Local Airola Attorneys and Experts Plan Community Meetings to Provide Solutions for Butte Fire Survivors

Town Hall Meetings Scheduled to Provide Displaced Residents with Advice and Next Steps

Following the devastating Butte Fire, many of the displaced Calaveras and Amador County residents are seeking help and guidance regarding steps they can take to begin rebuilding their lives. In an effort to provide advice and answer questions a series of town hall meetings have been scheduled for Thursday October 15 and Wednesday October 21 at Mountain Ranch Town Hall in Mountain Ranch, California.

“The Butte Fire was devastating on many levels,” said John V. Airola, attorney at law. “It really hit home for me on a personal level as I was helping my mother evacuate. I understand the impact this fire has had on area residents and I’ll be available to answer questions and fight on behalf of everyone affected by the fire.”

Airola and an expert group of attorneys from Calaveras County, Sacramento and Southern California have joined together and will be on hand at the Town Hall meeting to offer advice and answer questions regarding next steps. Airola, along with his cousin Steven Airola, Eric Ratinoff, Brett R. Parkinson and Robert W. Jackson, all established attorneys with their own distinct practices, have extensive experience fighting insurance matters, specifically involving fire loss, insurance bad faith and public utility liability. During the town hall meeting, the attorneys will discuss the recourse homeowners, ranchers and business owners in Calaveras and Amador Counties have when it comes to rebuilding and will answer questions such as:

Where do I go from here?

Who do I call first?

How do I work with my insurance company to make sure I get what I paid for?

What if I don’t have enough insurance to rebuild?

What if I don’t have insurance at all?

Do I have any other rights?

The Butte Fire destroyed almost 500 homes and more than 300 outbuildings since the blaze started on September 9, 2015. Concern has arisen that there could be negligence on the part of Pacific Gas and Electric Company after key officials indicated that the fire may have started when a tree fell and came into contact with one of their power lines.
